Cardinals Bounce Back with 5-1 Win over Diamondbacks

Lars Nootbaar’s two-run double in the eighth inning proved crucial in sealing the Cardinals’ win. Despite Arizona taking an early lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, the Cardinals’ pitching staff, led by Kyle Gibson, effectively shut down the Diamondbacks’ offense, holding them to zero runs in their final eight innings at the plate.
